Fairchild 22
The Fairchild 22 Model C7 was an American two-seat touring or training monoplane designed and built by the Kreider-Reisner division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation at Hagerstown, Maryland. The aircraft has a parasol wing configuration and was used with a variety of engines; 127 were produced from 1931 to 1935. The aircraft was tested with a variety of wing configurations and features by NACA. Development The aircraft was designed by George Hardman of Kreider-Reisner after Sherman Fairchild purchased the company. Marketed as the ''Fairchild 22 Model C7'' the aircraft was certified in March 1931. The Fairchild 22 was a mixed-construction, braced parasol-wing monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear and a braced tail unit. It had two tandem open cockpits and was initially powered by an 80 hp (60 kW) Armstrong Siddeley Genet radial engine.

Ryan ST
The Ryan STs are a series of two seat, low-wing monoplane aircraft built in the United States by the Ryan Aeronautical Company. They were used as sport aircraft, as well as trainers by flying schools and the militaries of several countries. Design and development T. Claude Ryan was the founder of the Ryan Aeronautical Company, the second incarnation of a company with this name, and the fourth company with which he had been involved to bear his nameRussell, Stuart"Ryan Stm-S2."''New Zealand Warbirds,'' 2002, 2014. Retrieved: 6 March 2015. (the first, Ryan Airlines, was the manufacturer of the Ryan NYP, more famously known as the ''Spirit of St. Louis''). He began the development of the ST (for "Sport Trainer", and also known as S-T), the first design of the company, in 1933. The ST featured two open cockpits in tandem in a semi-monocoque metal fuselage of two main frames – one steel, the other half of steel and half of aluminium alloy ( alclad) – to take the loads from ...

Ryan S-C
The Ryan S-C (Sports-Coupe) (or Sport Cabin) was an American three-seat cabin monoplane designed and built by the Ryan Aeronautical Company. At least one was impressed into service with the United States Army Air Forces as the L-10. Development The Ryan S-C was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear, designed to be an up-market version of the Ryan S-T trainer. The prototype first flew in 1937, and had a nose-mounted 150 hp (112 kW) Menasco inline piston engine. Production aircraft were fitted with a 145 hp (108 kW) Warner Super Scarab radial engine. With the company's involvement in producing trainer aircraft for the United States military, the S-C was not seriously marketed, and only 11 complete SCs (s/n 202 through 212) were built, all delivered in 1938; two more were later assembled from parts (s/n 213 in 1941 and s/n 214 in 1959). At least one example – probably as many as five, s/n 202, 203, 207, 211 and 212 – were impre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Redfern Nieuport 17/24
The Redfern Nieuport 17/24 is an American homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Walter Redfern and produced by the Walter Redfern Company of Post Falls, Idaho, based upon the First World War Nieuport 17 and Nieuport 24 fighter aircraft. When it was available the aircraft was supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction.Purdy, Don: ''AeroCrafter - Homebuilt Aircraft Sourcebook, Fifth Edition'', page 242. BAI Communications, 15 July 1998. The plans allow a builder to complete the aircraft as either a Nieuport 17 or Nieuport 24. Design and development The Nieuport 17/24 features a biplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear with and a single engine in tractor configuration. The replica is built from a combination of wood and metal tubing, all covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its span wing, has a wing area of and is supported by interplane struts, cabane struts and flying wires. The tail is also cable-braced. The acceptable power ra ...

Pasped Skylark
__NOTOC__ The Pasped W-1 Skylark is a 1930s American two-seat single-engined cabin monoplane designed and built by the Pasped Aircraft Company of Glendale, California. Design and development The Skylark is a braced low-wing monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear. It is powered by a Warner Scarab radial engine. The enclosed cockpit has side-by-side seating for two. It has a welded steel fuselage and wooden wings. With other two-seat aircraft of the era having a better performance on smaller engines the Skylark did not enter production. The sole example was currently airworthy in February 2010 with an owner in Versailles, Missouri Versailles ( ) is a city in and the county seat of Morgan County, Missouri, United States.

Meyers OTW
The Meyers OTW (''Out To Win'') was a 1930s United States training biplane designed by Allen Meyers and built by his Meyers Aircraft Company from 1936 to 1944. Development In anticipation for a demand for training aircraft caused by the introduction of a civilian war training scheme (in which civil flying schools would provide primary training for the military), Allen Meyers designed the OTW and formed the Meyers Aircraft Company to build it. The OTW was a conventional biplane with tandem seating for two in open cockpits and a fixed tailwheel landing gear. The prototype was powered by a 125 hp (93 kW) Warner Scarab engine and it first flew on 10 May 1936. The aircraft was produced in two main variants; the OTW-145 powered by a 145 hp (108 kW) Warner Super Scarab, and the OTW-160 powered by a 160 hp (119 kW) Kinner R-5 engine.

L-class Blimp
The L-class blimps were training airships operated by the United States Navy during World War II. In the mid-1930s, the Goodyear Aircraft Company built a family of small non-rigid airships that the company used for advertising the Goodyear name. In 1937 the United States Navy awarded a contract for two different airships, K-class blimp designated K-2 and a smaller blimp based upon Goodyear's smaller commercial model airship used for advertising and passenger carrying. The smaller blimp was designated by the Navy as L-1. It was delivered in April 1938 and operated from the Navy's lighter-than-air facility at Lakehurst, New Jersey. In the meantime, the Navy ordered two more L-Class blimps, the L-2 and L-3, on September 25, 1940. These were delivered in 1941. L-2 was lost in a nighttime mid-air collision with the G-1 on June 8, 1942. When the United States entered World War II, the Navy took over the operation of Goodyear's five commercial blimps. These were the ''Resolute'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Harlow PJC-2
The Harlow PJC-2 is a 1930s American four-seat cabin monoplane, designed by Max Harlow. Development Max Harlow was an aeronautical engineer and instructor at the Pasadena Junior College. Under his tutelage, the aircraft designated PJC-1 was designed and built as a class project. The PJC-1 first flew on 14 September 1937 at Alhambra, California but it crashed during an extended (more than six turn) spin test with the center of gravity ballasted to the aft limit, as it was going through the certification process—a problem generally laid at the feet the unusually rigorous spin test requirement and the government test pilot, who bailed out of the airplane after the spin "flattened out." The airplane struck the ground, still in the "flat" (longitudinally level) attitude in a bean field near Mines Field (now Los Angeles International Airport) with considerable damage; although repairable, the PJC-1 was never returned to service. PJC students then built a slightly modified airplan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Granville Gee Bee Sportster
The Gee Bee Sportster was a family of sports aircraft built in the United States in the early 1930s by the Granville Brothers. They were low-wing strut- and wire-braced monoplanes of conventional, if short-coupled, design, with open cockpits and fixed, tailskid undercarriage. History The prototype of the small series, designated Model X was built to compete in the 1930 All-American Flying Derby sponsored by the Cirrus Engine Company. The Model X, piloted by Lowell Bayles placed second in the race from Detroit to San Francisco and back, averaging 116.4 mph (186.7 km/h) over the 5,541 mile (8,887 km) distance. Bayles used his share of the $7,000 prize money to purchase the aircraft. The same year, two generally similar aircraft were built, one Model B and one Model C. These differed from the Model X by having landing gear that incorporated shock absorbers, as opposed to the Model X's rigid landing gear that relied on its tires for shock absorption; but while the Mod ...
